Nox Vox Aeterna - Iron & Gold Lyrics

(Laughs..)
Lets make a deal...
From the depths, I clawed my way,
Through fire and darkness, found the day.
No longer bound by chains below,
Sitting now where mortals kneel low.
I built an empire, brick by brick,
A kingdom vast, with power thick.
In boardrooms high, I make my stand,
The Devil's will, I command.
On a throne of 'Iron and Gold',
I rule the weak, their souls are sold.
No need for fire, no need for fear,
For they come to me, year after year.
(Year after year!)
No crown of thorns, no wings of light,
Just greed and power, black as night.
In every deal, in every lie,
I taste the sins that never die.
They sign their names without a thought,
For wealth 'n fame, their souls are bought.
I smile, I laugh, behind closed doors,
They are mine, forevermore.
On a throne of 'Iron and Gold',
I rule the weak, their souls are sold.
No need for fire, no need for fear,
For they come to me, year after year.
(year after year)
The Abyss is far, a distant dream,
But here on earth, I reign supreme.
No angel's voice, no Heaven's call,
Just mortals kneel, as I stand tall.
I've found my place, my kingdom grand!
A devil's throne in this mortal land.
With every sin, my power looms!
In every heart, the darkness blooms.
They crave the wealth, they crave the fame,
But all they gain is endless shame.
Each deal they make, each hand they shake,
Brings them closer to the pit they can't forsake.
On a throne of 'Iron and Gold',
I rule the weak, their souls are sold.
No need for fire, no need for fear,
They come to me, year after year.
(Year after year)
I watch them rise, I watch them fall,
To gain it all, they lose it all.
In whispered deals, their fate is sealed,
To my dark will, they've all kneeled.
The power they seek, the power they crave,
Leads them swiftly to the grave.
They think they win, they think they gain,
But all they find is endless pain.
I've forged their chains in gold so fine,
They think they're free, but they are mine.
With every step, they lose their way,
Yet in my grasp, they choose to stay.
On a throne of 'Iron and Gold',
I rule the weak, their souls are sold.
No need for fire, no need for fear,
They come to me, year after year.
(Year after year)
The path to me is paved with greed,
Their every want, their ever' need.
I give them what they think they want,
But it's their souls that I now haunt.
On a throne of 'Iron and Gold',
I rule the weak, their souls are sold.
No need for fire, no need for fear,
They come to me, year after year.
(Year after year)
Let them cower, let them kneel, let them serve forevermore!
I give them what they want, these mortals so quick, to sell their soul!
(Laughs!!)
(They come to me...)
(Year after year...)
(Souls are sold...)
(On 'Iron and Gold'...)
(Laughs...)
(Souls are sold...)
(On 'Iron and Gold'...)
